I am an Insight Analyst at Etraveli in Uppsala, Sweden, and an Affiliate Researcher at the Department of Linguistics and Philology of Uppsala University.

My research focuses on computational historical linguistics, particularly developing methods for analyzing the evolution of languages and text traditions. I specialize in phylogenetic methods that facilitate the use of phonological information in linguistic phylogenetics, from sound correspondences to inferences of sound changes.

In my current work, I have been extensively involved with large language models in production environments, both via APIs and locally deployed systems. I’m also working on computer versions of Tafl games, inspired by chess programming techniques.

I love programming, primarily using Python but also exploring R, Julia, Nim, and C. My Ph.D. thesis examined the classical as a means of relationship with otherness, as showcased by the literary development of Odysseus.

Current Projects

  • PhyloVector: Vector-based approaches to phylogenetic analysis
  • Uralic phylogeny: Computational methods for Uralic language relationships
  • Arawan family: South American language family analysis
  • Tafl games: Computer game programming with chess-inspired algorithms
